Tuiles are one of the classic French biscuits. They are made from 4 simple ingredients: egg white, sugar, flour, and butter. In this version, there are sliced almonds added.
To bake them evenly and for them to become nice and crunchy, it is easiest to make a template for spreading them onto the baking sheet. After baking, they are placed onto a rolling pin to give them their characteristic shape.
